Input validation vulnerability in WPtouch 3.4.2

  • Severity: critical
  • Status: Fixed
  • Publication: August 1, 2014

The WordPress plugin WPtouch is vulnerable to malicious file uploads for versions up to 3.4.2. This vulnerability is caused by the function ‘admin_initialize()’ being called with the ‘admin_init’ hook, and there being no checks on the function to make sure the user is authorized. This means that an attacker who is logged in can upload a backdoor to the website, which would give them full control over the website.
